Crafting has become a take-a-moment-when-you-get-it pleasure. I am starting to find time to make a couple of cards a week but I am only just starting to get back into the scrapbooking swing of things. With 7 month old twins, my spare time is very sparse and all my crafting stuff is in their room so it's very hard to work on after they are in bed at night. (With sparse spare time it's not that easy to get organized to have everything I need out of the room before bedtime!)

I go through phases where I scrapbook every night for a while. Then my mojo beats a path out, and it will be another month before I pick up my supplies.
So to fully answer the question, it would be "NOT ENOUGH!" :-)
BTW, your little family gets cuter by the nanosecond.

I am very lucky. I am able to scrap almost every day. I have 3 young kids in school all day. i am trying to build a business of cards and teaching.
I love the give-a-way products.

I want to be a every week scrapper, but I let life get in the way alot of times and end up being a lucky if its once a month scrapper. I get frustrated with myself that I get so far behind in my scrapping my rapidly growing daughter. My intentions are good...my commitment is not.

I try and incorporate doing crafts (embroidery, sewing, art journals, scrapbooking, whatever :)) even for a few minutes every day. But of course, sometimes a few minutes turns into longer and I end up scrambling to finish a homework assignment or such! ;)

How often do I scrapbook.. that is a good question. The truth of the matter is I work on some part of my scrapbooks daily..whether that be editing or printing photos, writing journaling, sketching layouts for specific pictures, looking at other blogs for inspiration.... something everyday -because I NEED to. It is my outlet, my safe haven.
Actual cropping -not so much at home these days, rearranging and organizing my room has taken several months (but is almost done!) but I do meet up with girlfriends every Thursday at the LSS to crop while the kids are at school. It is such a blessing to me to be joined by friends and participate in this hobby that I LOVE!

Not as often as I would like!

I scrapbook at least once a month. I'd love to do it daily, but I don't have a separate room, so I end up working on my kitchen table, and just can't leave everything out.

I do not get a chance to sit and scrap/play nearly as often as I would like. Maybe once every couple of weeks. I do not stress about being caught up, I love photography and have the photos to prove it!

I haven't scrapped with actual paper much since my fourth child was born. I try to blog a least once a week though, and print a book annually. And I do a yearly slideshow using iMovie, which we watch on New Year's Eve or Day. It's one of my favorite traditions now, and I'll be able to burn CD's for each of my kids in lieu of ongoing scrapbooks.

I would call myself jack of all trades and master of none.I started scrapbooking when I first stunbled on your blog (Ali's). You got me hooked. With in two months I made like 30 scrapbook pages. Loved it as it also mad eme use my passion of photography as well as Nikon D300 that my twin girls Lara & Vara presented to me last year on mother's day.
But then realising how much it cost to scrapbook (I mean you just go crazy when you see paper and emballishments) I started substituting at local schools. But it somehow reduced my scrapbooking time.
Now a days I scrapbook twice a week, do painting once a week and teach knitting to my 8 years old twin girls everyday.
I love all these giveaways. I hope I am the lucky winner....my fingers crossed.

if my kids cooperate, i can scrap while they play (my 21-month old son) and nap (my 6 month old daughter) b/c our play room and my crafting space are in the same room. so when they cooperate and i'm in the groove, i scrap 4-5 times a week. sometimes life "gets in the way," though, and i can only scrap once every 2 weeks (or less).

In a perfect world my answer would be "a little bit every day", but in reality it would be at least 3 to 4 times a week. Some days my "scrapbooking" consists of just looking through books and magazines for inspiration.

I scrap as often as I can and usually if not actually doing something "physically", I'm doing something mentally like thinking about a layout or something. But I blog my Project 365 everyday if I can!

It verys as I go in spurts and spats... lately I've been scrapping weekly for a full day either on my own or with my gf. Since Jake was born I've pulled together a few digital layouts using photos and words together, hoping to scrap normally this week.

I scrapbook every day. I use my dining room table and just leave my scrapbook supplies out unless I'm having a family dinner. I find I get more accomplished this way.

I scrapbook every chance I get. My desk is in my kitchen so I do things as I walk by. Also, I look for the opportunity to turn a task into scrapbooking. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and today is School Nurse Appreciation Day so I'm making cards, decorating giftcard holders and packaging homemade cookies all with my scrapbook supplies.
It's becoming second nature to me now and I think I don't even need to sign my name on things anymore...people know a gift is from me without looking at the tag. I love that!

Ooo... gorgeous stuff!! I try to scrap or create SOMETHING everyday. Even if it's just getting materials out to play with a new technique and make a mess! I just started a journal so that is my place to play when i don't have a project to do.
